intro, and outdrive Qs
Hello, I joined the BOC, to get info on Blackman boats.
My name is John, and my Kerry Blue Terrier, Mia, is my first mate.
I'm going to drive out to Slymar, by the Grapevine, from San Diego, today, after work to see the Albacore Special Project boat.
I'll give the man a deposit, if we can work out a payment deal.
I'm currently in the final phases of rebuilding/ restoring, my Dirty Girl, 28 Flybridge Skipjack. Easy to see on Bloody Decks.
Two questions.
Volvo Penta Outdrive repairs, service, etc. I have two 280 single props, that need work, I don't feel I am qualified to do, such as shimming, etc.
I have called Cogswell, and been given contradictory info, on the lower unit housings. I want to pull the gears from my (corroded) B V8 housing, and put them in my (new) D 4 cyl housing.
Cogswell, says I can't, because they are different. Marine Parts Express, out in Maine, says they are the same, and i can do that.
Outdrive exchange, is not very friendly, and it is hard to get the time of day from them.
Another rebuilder in the LA area, is freaking ridiculous, as to pricing.
Do you have any good contacts?
